Oz Clarke says ""This is what a good LBV should taste like. There's something not quite right with a lot of the LBVs on the High Street just now; hopefully it's just a phase, but most of them are decidedly short on personality. Luckily, this one's got buckets of it, piled up with sweet blackberries and black plum skins, the rasp of herbs, the bite of peppercorn and an attractive grainy tannic bitterness to go with the syrupy richness. It's good now but you could age it for 5-10 years” - Oz Clarke, December 2011" Product Origin; Oporto, Portugal Allergens Guide; Contains Sulphites
Late Bottle Vintage; 2011
Decant; If you have a decanter, use it. If you do not, try ‘double decanting', which achieves the same effect: pour the port in to a suitable neutral receptacle, such as a jug. Take especial care towards the end of the bottle - use natural light or a candle to see when the sediment starts to be poured. Without undue wastage, stop pouring at this point. Rinse then drain the original bottle, then pour the decanted port back in to serve. The process also opens up the full depth of tastes and aromas to be enjoyed. Tasting Notes; Intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with hints of eucalyptus and spice. The palate displays wonderfully luscious, rich black fruit flavour supported by firm but supple tannins. A sumptuous and richly flavoured Port which should have pride of place on any dining table.
